Hertian’s face gets closer.

Our breaths meet.

His warm breath tickles my cheek.

‘No, it feels like we’re about to kiss or something.’

I shook off the strange thoughts that had been occupying my mind.

This is strictly for his treatment.

Of course, even if it’s called treatment, doing such a thing might be wrong.

‘Who would think of feeding medicine to someone through their mouth just because they can’t swallow it.’

This time, our noses touched. No matter how much I tried to shake off distracting thoughts, it was still embarrassing.

Now, I couldn’t spit out the antidote.

This was the last dose of antidote.

I made a firm resolution like the first time, closed my eyes tightly, and headed straight for his lips.

Once I touched them, there wasn’t much sensation.

More than that, I just wanted to quickly give him the bitter antidote.

I wiped the antidote off his pale, dried lips and slowly leaned back. I didn’t want him to recover his senses right away.

However, the thought of quietly slipping away didn’t last long.

“Huh?”

The moment his breath seemed to be no longer audible, I was drawn back to him. Due to the wind pulling my neck with his long arms, our lips that had briefly separated stuck together again.

This time, it was his bare lips without antidote.

Moist and filled with his hot heat…

Some had rabbit-like eyes wide open, while others remained closed.

Like someone having a nightmare, with a delicate frown, he continuously sought my lips. The lips, which had lost the taste of the antidote, relentlessly sucked and then took in my lips like seeking something.

Moreover, he didn’t stop; instead, he caressed my back and waist, gripping my clothes. I broke out in a cold sweat, wondering if even my clothes would be torn apart like Hertian’s shirt.

“Her…”

The voice finally slipped through the gap of his lips.

It’s different from before.

Merely kissing and pushing the antidote is a different sensation.

‘Strange.’

My heart pounded. Like Hertian’s heart.

There was a flash of warning in my mind.

‘This could be big trouble.’

I tried to push Hertian away with all my strength, but with his flesh, which had become hot like a boulder, just touching my hand made him delve deeper into me. Now, the movement was not just about the lips but inside him.

Squish.

I bit into his flesh.

Thanks to that, our lips momentarily parted.

“Are you okay?”

Maybe I asked too forcefully. He opened his eyes like a wisp. It seemed to be a painful expression that brought back lost consciousness.

The warm sigh that flowed from his lips tickled my face. The eyes that looked down at me with slightly widened eyes wavered.

“Hertian… Are you back to your senses?”

As I said that, he cried as if in pain. A man who, despite being half-naked, kisses and cries in front of me. But even that sight was so pitiful that my chest tightened. I reached out and wiped away the naughty tears that soaked his smooth cheeks.

“It’s okay now.”

He buried his face in my shoulder in comfort. And with a hoarse voice, he murmured.

“…I’m sorry.”

“That’s enough. What else could be lacking…”

Embarrassment turned my face red.

“Because of the lack of the antidote… The lack… makes my body feel strange…”

Ah. Because there wasn’t enough antidote.
“……It’s not enough.”

“That’s enough. What else is lacking…”

Embarrassment turned my face crimson.

“The antidote is lacking… It’s lacking, so my body feels strange…”

Ah, it’s because the antidote is lacking.

I felt like a pervert for having strange thoughts about him. Strictly speaking, my mind was filled with such and such fantasies because of Hertian’s kiss, but that’s another story.

“Hey…”

I pressed my forehead against his shoulder and patted his back, which was shaking with tears. My first thought was to calm him down and then go get the antidote.

The sobbing sound gradually began to subside.

“I’ll bring more antidote.”

I gently lifted his black hair off my shoulder.

His face was a mess just like mine.

This wasn’t a sane person. The light disappeared from his clear eyes, and he seemed to be absorbed in something. It was clear that more antidote was needed.

I had to leave without stimulating him.

“I’ll be back quickly. So, don’t worry and rest here.”

Comforting him with a very gentle voice, I tidied up the room. I wanted to divert his attention by offering a glass of water, but he had already poured everything into the handkerchief.

I quietly got up from the couch.

“Just rest here for a while, and I’ll be back soon.”

It felt like I became a caretaker.

Hertian, who stared at me intensely, felt unfamiliar.

As I took one step, two steps away and turned toward the door.

“Where are you going?”

His voice echoed as soon as he saw my back. It felt like fur standing up all over my body.

“…Nothing. Please go.”

His voice came again immediately.

The usual affectionate voice of Hertian.

A feeling of welcome surged from the deep depths of that voice. When I turned my head, I almost screamed at the sight of the giant chest muscles in front of me, but that’s beside the point.
